lunation

It had taken the better part of a lunation to get them all cleaned out.

Full moon names were given to each lunation in a season.

The Maya counted the number of days in the current lunation.

Months were almost three weeks long (alternating 29 and 30 days to keep in line with the lunation).

There are several series of lunation numbers in use.

In a lunar calendar each month corresponds to a lunation.

One lunation (an average lunar cycle) is 29.53 days.

The Maya counted the lunation in a cycle of six, numbered zero through 5.

Although some call this 20-day division or grouping a month, it has no relation to a lunation and therefore the word "week" is more appropriate.

However, the lunation is never more than 15 hours behind or ahead of a mean lunation.

Each lunar cycle is assigned a unique Lunation Number to identify it.

So for one lunation to the next, we add 29 days, and we add 26 to the accumulator.

Hipparchus confirmed this value for the lunation length.

And instead of computing with decimals, we approximate the lunation length by a vulgar fraction.

The lunation length used in System B has also been attributed to Kidinnu.

As many as 50,000 return photons detected in a single lunation (during 5 hours total operation)

Lunation is the mean time for one lunar phase cycle (i.e., the synodic period of the Moon).

Jean Meeus (2002): Ch.4 The duration of the lunation pp.

It means lunation.

We just received word that the Mrav and Grost systems were vaporized within the past lunation."

Patellar Lunation, also known as luxating patella, refers to the dislocation of the kneecap.

Most pre-modern calendars the world over were lunisolar, combining the solar year with the lunation by means of intercalary months.

Lunation 1 occurred at approximately 02:41 UTC, January 17, 1923.

As before, the accumulator needs to be computed modulo 49 every lunation, and if it exceeds its bound, then the syzygy falls a day later.
